Patient's question:
The most important thing I want to know is, because I work as an accountant in a company, my daily work is quite relaxed, but I have to do accounting in front of the computer every day. So I want to ask if the radiation from the computer for children is very high, and whether such work will affect the growth and development of children. If so, I can ask for leave from my boss in advance.Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is best to avoid contact!When using a computer, electromagnetic radiation can exist around it, including X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared rays, and electromagnetic fields of extremely high frequency, high frequency, medium frequency, and extremely low frequency, as well as static electric fields. However, the intensity of their emissions is very weak and far below the current health standards set by China and international regulations. A decade of tracking studies have shown that the electromagnetic radiation emitted by computers is very small and is safe for the human body, including pregnant women, as well as for sperm, eggs, zygotes, embryos, and fetuses. In real life, the occasional occurrence of miscarriages or the birth of malformed fetuses among computer operators is a coincidence and should not be used to "condemn" computers. To this day, foreign experts have not provided scientific evidence that computers can affect fetuses. Therefore, he advises some expectant fathers and mothers that there is no need to be overly frightened by computers ("fear computers"). Normal computer use before and during pregnancy will not affect your little baby.
(1) The radiation emitted by computers is far below the international standards, posing no threat to adults.
(2) During the first three months of pregnancy, when the fetus is in a sensitive period of cell division and organ differentiation, radiation protection is necessary:
1. Keep at least one meter away from the computer.
2. Wear protective clothing.
3. Take a shower and change clothes after finishing work.
